Let ( E α ) α I , where I is an index set (for example, [0,1]). Can we define the corresponding liminf, for example,
lim inf α 0 E α = r > 0 0 < α < r E α .
My desired result is the following continuous parameter type Fatou's lemma: Let μ be a finite meaure and each E α is measurable, then
μ ( lim inf α 0 E α ) lim inf α 0 μ ( E α ) .
I am not sure whether these make sense. Any comments are welcome! Many thanks!

Note that
r > 0 0 < α < r E α = n = 1 0 < α < 1 / n E α .
Indeed, for r > 1, we have
0 < α < r E α 0 < α < 1 E α n = 1 0 < α < 1 / n E α .
Now we let
S n = 0 < α < 1 / n E α ,
one sees that ( S n ) n = 1 is an increasing sequence. Hence,
μ ( lim inf α E α ) = μ ( n = 1 S n ) = lim n μ ( S n ) .
But then for a fixed n, we have
μ ( S n ) μ ( E α ) , 0 < α < 1 / n ,
this allows us to take lim inf both sides with respect to α 0, which leads to
μ ( S n ) lim inf α μ ( E α ) .
Now we take n and note that lim inf α μ ( E α ) is a constant with respect to n and we are done.
